I used to have the same "problem" as well.... until I eventually realized that TVtime doesn't save the settings automatically, you have to explicetely tell him to save the colour adjustements you made. IIRc there are two options: one to save the settings for the current channels, and one to make the settings as default for all channels.

Sorry for stating the obvious, but since it caught me, why not somebody else as well... ;-)
